How To Detox Inspite Of Suffering From Indigestion And Loose Stool?
How to detox?
Hi, I'm running in to the problem of finding too much and conflicting info online about nutrition and detoxes. My mother has always had stomach problems- IBS, leaky gut, etc, which got even worse after she had her thyroid removed. She detoxed and changed her diet for years and now has things under control. I have just turned 25 and am experiencing stomach issues too. (But I had tests done and show no thyroid issues) I have regular, indigestion, loose stool, and reactive hypoglycemia. Sometimes if I don't eat for a few hours or if I only eat carbs, I faint. Sometimes I wake up needing food immediately. I was thinking of doing a detox to help my stomach, then following a healthy more regulated diet. I tried eating very healthy for a month (whole grains, meat, fruits, veggies, yogurt, no packaged snacks)with no change, but I've heard that without a detox, diet changes aren't effective. I've also heard I need to cut gluten and dairy - but I have also read that gluten is protein and yogurt bacteria good for the stomach. What do I need to do to detox and heal my stomach? I also have persistent acne, which is always deep under the skin and nothing topical works. Perhaps a diet change could also help this?
Thank you for your time,
Brandi

Hi
i appreciate your concern
in my opinion it will your most of symptoms so go it under supervision of a doctor
Detoxification includes
dieting, fasting, consuming exclusively or avoiding specific foods (such as fats, carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, juices, herbs, or water),
colon cleansing therapy by giving enema,
chelation therapy for removal of heavy metals
Congenital enzyme deficiencies (hereditary fructose intolerance, galactosemia, and leucine sensitivity of childhood can also cause such a picture
try to avoid packaged food, have well cooked home preparations only with exercise and food supplements like multivitamins
Hope this helps you
feel free to ask for follow up
good luck take care
